We need your help

We’re your Children’s Aid Society and we protect children from abuse and neglect. For more than 100 years we’ve been putting toys, food, clothing and more under the tree for the kids we serve. Last year, the Tree of Hope helped more
than 850 kids from across Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. This holiday season, can your family, organization or business help one of the families served by the Tree of Hope? The holiday season is a time for celebration. For some it is about
faith. For others, it is family, friends or work colleagues. But for the families we serve, it is different. When you’re buying toys for your kids, they’re looking at empty stockings. When you’re preparing a feast, they’re
worried they won’t have enough to eat. When you’re giving thanks for everything you have, they’re wondering how they will cope. Your donation to the Tree of Hope will give them the Holiday Spirit they need and deserve.

How you can help

You can sponsor a child

Contact us to get a name of a child or a family (or more than one) and what they need. Buy your presents and deliver them to our offices in Kingston and Napanee for distribution. Give as a family or as an organization or business. There’s no better
way to mark the holidays then by giving together with others. Contact us to get a name of a child or family. Use the contact form below or call us at (613) 545-3227 Ext. 3388.

Donate money

Your donation by cheque or credit card, by mail or online will give us the flexibility to help each family.

Important Note

We take the privacy of the children and families we serve very seriously. We cannot identify any of the children or families that benefit from the Tree of Hope. This also makes it difficult for us to honour requests for feedback from kids who received your donations of toys. Thank you for understanding. The money we raise from the Tree of Hope will go towards buying toys, cribs, and other items our families need over the holiday season and to manage the campaign. Any money left over will be sent to our Summer Camp program, which sends some of the same kids helped by the Tree of Hope to summer camps across our two counties. We will issue tax receipts for donations of over $20.00. You can expect these receipts to arrive in February. For gifts given online, charitable tax receipts will be issued by email.
